Abstract

This study aim was to change the knowledge, attitude and practice of type 2 diabetics who are on treatment with insulin at home towards household waste management by adequate health education. An interventional study was carried out on patients suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus who visited the diabetes clinic at Benha University Hospital from April 2014 to March 2016. 500 study subjects were selected through a systematic sampling procedure. It was found that, There was a significant increase in post-educational knowledge, attitude and practice scores% (p<0.001). Sex, age, level of education and occupation were significant predictors for Pre-education knowledge score% while in post-education only occupation was significant predictors. The level of education and occupation were significant predictors for Pre-education attitude score%, while in post-education attitude score%, age and level of education were significant predictors. Sex, age and level of education were significant predictors for Pre-education practice score%, while in the post-education the only level of education was significant predictors and it was concluded that, Knowledge and attitude towards safe insulin injection waste disposal were high; however practice was low pre and post educational stage. Knowledge, attitude and practice of diabetic patients toward safe insulin injection disposal had a strong association with sex, marital status, educational level and type of occupation. A further research to design a low-cost, user friendly program and equipment to suit socio-cultural practices should be done.
